22 Rooms: A New Work by Larry Keigwin

May 21, 2020 – Sept 13, 2021
551 Grand St, New York, NY 10002, United States

The rooms belong to dancers in the Paul Taylor Dance Company. The songs are midcentury classics. It adds up to 22 Rooms, an online dance choreographed by Larry Keigwin. The digital commission begins with Heather McGinley and Devon Louis, each isolated in their own apartments, dancing to “Chances Are,” sung by the inimitable Johnny Mathis. It ends with the Doris Day classic “Que Sera Sera,” which sees four Taylor men dancing a pas de quatre from four different spaces. “Pappa Loves Mambo,” “Misty,” and more are in-between. With his wit and heart, Keigwin is perfect for the job. So check it out! —L.J.
